Delphi is a handy tool to develop the COM (Component Object Model) DLL. A *_TLB.pas will be generated by the compiler automatically from the *.tlb (Type Library File) which contains the definitions of the functions/procedures, properties.
The *_TLB.pas looks like the following (functions blurred for NDA)
Each API is marked with a keyword dispid that tells the position of the function/procedure/property in the DLL file (e.g. offset). We can count how many times the dispid appear in the file and get the number of APIs we’ve got.
We can use the linux command grep (there are windows alternatives, such as gnu linux, cygwin) to search all occurrences and pipe into the wc which counts the incoming text/source. The switch option -l tells the wc to count the lines. -w is to count the words and -c stands for characters.
